Our child began attending Bulverde Creek Elementary (BCE) her 4th grade year after attending Montessori the previous school years. She has blossomed and grown in all ways since then. For some reason, she was unsure of herself and had low self esteem her last couple of years at Montessori. She had bad anxiety when it came to school work and tests. It may have had to do with the teacher/s she had at the time since we heard that one was particularly harsh and strict on her and the other students. Her test grades have significantly improved since she transitioned to BCE, and her words and actions show us that she believes in herself and what she is capable of accomplishing. We can't praise the teachers and staff enough for this wonderful development. This is a great school!

I attened Johnson High School in the 2023-2024 school year, during my freshman year.I do not have any positive things to say about my experience.I am allergic to chemical fragrance, and to some cleaning products, which I unfortunately only learned after attending Johnson. To sum up the days I attended there, to call myself a warped version of myself would be an understatement. I had every allergy symptom in the book whilst attending, brain fog, fever, swelling, eczema, fatigue, post nasal drip, rashes, itching, full-body inflammation.And yet nobody cared. I would go to the nurses office almost daily, clocking in with a fever of 99°, and despite telling the nurse a normal temperature for me was 96°, she would send me back to class. Even when I was seriously ill, I would be sent back to class due to a district policy, like all kids. At one point I had such an eczema flare up behind my ear, the spot where the ear connects to your head, that the nurse described it as an "open wound". It was as painful as you'd think. She simply bandaged it and sent me back to my class. The same class where kids ridiculed me, asking me if I was "turning into an elf". and would empty out bottles of cologne onto eachother, at one point cracking an entire glass bottle of cologne onto the floor. We had to stay in the classroom. I am not academically challenged, and yet I had grades no higher that 30's in all my classes. Perhaps if the counselors cared they would have done something, anything, when they saw my grades from 8th grade, A's and B's. Seen that something was wrong, but nobody cares at a school with 3500 kids. The kids at this school, from my memory, were either shut down and silent, or loud, mean kids, who spoke like they were raised on tiktok. The bathrooms, boys and girls, were hazy with vape smoke. Even after instilling a policy that any kid caught with a vape would be sent to alternative school, this problem continued.When the electricity went out, the sinks wouldn't work. During passing period, kids would be packed together like sardines. A girl on my school bus would empty out aersol cans of perfume onto herself daily, yet nothing was done, even after reporting it. I do not believe any middle schoolers were prepared for the reality of Johnson, Tejeda wasn't.I beg all parents, do not send your kids to Johnson. They can't manage their student population, and because of that, nobody will care about your child's education. Nobody will care.
